About
Hey there, I’m Rebecca! I’m the one woman show behind Ayurveda with Rebecca. I make wholesome recipes for busy moms that are easy-to-follow, budget-friendly and inspired by Ayurveda. I’m also a certified Ayurveda Practitioner and mom of two beautiful girls.
The Back Story
My journey with cooking began in my early twenties. At the time, I had no idea how to cook real food and my health was suffering as a result.
I decided I needed to find a way to ENJOY cooking, turn it into a hobby and develop it as a skill if I was ever going to take control of my health.
It was slow, it was messy, I had endless setbacks along the way, but overtime (and one new recipe at a time), I completely changed my relationship with food and sparked the start of a whole new path in life…
Why Ayurveda?
This process of learning to cook real food led me to discover Ayurveda.
I first heard the word Ayurveda in 2014 and had no idea what it was! But once I started uncovering more, this approach made so much sense and everything started to “click”. After a few short months of integrating it into my life, I was feeling better than I ever had before.
While it wasn’t part of my “plan”, I wanted to learn as much as I could so I enrolled in Ayurveda school and gained my qualifications, eventually becoming a certified Advanced Ayurveda Practitioner. I spent 10+ years working with women all over the world, helping them adopt this life changing lifestyle too.
Once my two wonderful children came along, my hands were completely full and prioritizing myself was harder. I knew it was time to go back to basics and focus on what first sparked this whole transformation in my own life – food!
The recipes on this website were born out of my own need to eat well as a first time mother, despite having little time or energy available to be in the kitchen. These recipes are now here to help you too as you navigate all the twists and turns of life.
It means the world to me when one of my recipes makes it to your kitchen. I can’t thank you enough for being here!
When I’m Not in the Kitchen
As a full-time working mom of two, I don’t actually have a whole lot of time to spend in the kitchen these days! Hopefully, you’ll see in my recipes that I aim for quick, easy and delicious, freeing up time for the rest of life.
You’ll most likely find me with my kids & husband… or on my laptop as I work completely online! My two daughters are 5 and 2 and the joy they bring to life is immeasurable, with a healthy side of meltdowns amongst the magic too of course!
I put a big focus on spending time together as a family and creating lots of traditions. As a parent, I’d love my kids to be able to look back on their childhood with a catalogue of special experiences and memories of feeling completely loved.
Originally from Ireland, my family and I live in Beautiful British Colombia and enjoy all Vancouver has to offer from mountains and beaches to forest trails and city life. I pinch myself every single day that I get to call here home.
